Windows OneCare Live.

[Turin]

Hi,

Just thought I'd get people's opinions on Microsoft's new OneCare program which intergrates a safety package smoothly into Windows XP. What are your views, reviews and comparisons to other products considering the excellent Anti-Spyware program Microsoft already offers.

Regards,
Turin

what sorta stuff it include? as i havnt got it oO or knew about it.

the beta payed for? because when i went to it. it said get beta 30 day trial or 2 other options, so persumably one option was to pay, one was to input serial code i believe

Main things it includes is a more advanced windows firewall, a anti-virus guard, tune-ups (mainly defragmenting and bootup stuff) and some window update features. You do not have to pay for it because it is in BETA but once it is released Microsoft might be offering it as either a free download or one you have to subscribe to.

I think if they offer it free, they'll get sued again for monopolising -_-

I agree, it seems to work pretty well, I never have problems with spyware or virus' so I just stick with either ZoneAlarm or Windows Firewall as the most basic protection, but I thought I'd try this out.

For people who either can't or can't be ars'ed to do a day-to-day computer cleaning, like emptying the cache, running and eye through the processes etc, this basically automates the whole thing so you don't have to worry about it. Oh and it isn't very resource heavy, runs quitely in the background.

Do i need a legal version of microsoft?

 

[Elijah]

i believe so craig, even if you can get someone to upload it for u to download, it stays in contact with microsoft all time, because of updates. I may be wrong though!

 

[Turin]

Its an online installation so I think they verify your windows instalation before proceeding, give it a go though. Microsoft is not allowed to nuke you lol.
